Tuxedo / WLS using WTC

Question

          Hello,
          I am looking for some advice, documentation – anything regarding he best practices
          for clustering between Tuxedo 8.0 and WLS 6.1 SP3 using WTC.
          I have the following configuration: 5 Tuxedo servers running on five boxes, each
          of them accessing 2 WLS servers. The connectivity is achieved using WTC.
          I wonder what is best: to have a hardware load balance? To set up Tuxedo to that
          it fails-over the other one? Do I need the two WLS instances to be clustered?
          Do I need an admin server?
          Cheers,
          Thierry

Claudio,
WTC does not have the Fmkfldid or Fappend methods. You can open a case with
support and you may be able to get a one off patch to help your porting
experience.
(one-off because you are asking for an API change without full QA testing)
You could also write your own versions of these methods.
For example, Fappend would simply be a wrapper around Fadd which would
just use
the Fldid and object value. For Fmkfldid you would need to use
Fiterator to go through
the Fmlkeys and compare the Fldtype and Fldno of each key's Fldid with
the type and
number of your input.(There is a better way of doing this and support
may be able to give
it to you without a patch).

Hi, my company is planning to port a large Tuxedo 8.0 application on WLS using
WTC.
The Tuxedo services have FML buffers built using Fmkfldid and Fappend function
and for us it is impossible to change this approach.
There is any way to use the same functions in jatmi ?
Thanks
